TRANSMISSION IS VITAL TO OUR MISSION OF DEVELOPING RENEWABLES AND REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS. EXPANDING THE DEPLOYMENT AND INTEGRATION OF COST EFFECTIVE RENEWABLES ON THE GRID INCLUDES PARTICIPATING IN STAKEHOLDER PROCESSES AND ADVOCATING FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY AT THE MIDCONTINENT INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR (MISO - REGIONAL "GRID" OPERATOR), STIMULATING MARKET CONDITIONS THAT SUPPORT OR ENHANCE THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY ACROSS THE MISO FOOTPRINT, AND ACTIVATING OUR MEMBERS TO STRATEGIZE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE TRANSMISSION PLANNING, CREATING NEW MARKET RULES, AND ADDRESSING OPERATIONS ISSUES AT MISO.
